Obama's Betrayal of Israel - (from Gatestone Institute)

Truly momentous days are ahead of us. The very reliable Gatestone Institute writes that a draft of the resolution to arrive at, at the Paris anti-Israel meeting scheduled for January 15 is already prepared. This is to serve as the basis for a UN resolution recognizing a Palestinian State within the borders pronounced by Obama and his Secretary of State recently. At the end of the day, the Obama presidency might be reduced to just this Hamanic plot against Israel. All these calculations however discounts the Almighty, the God of Israel. We'll see how events play out. SOONER THAN LATER!Click, to read the article from the source: https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9755/obama-betrayal-israel
==================================

SELECTIONS FROM THE ARTICLE

President Obama's decision
not to use the US veto in the UN Security Council and to let pass
Resolution 2334, effectively sets the boundaries of a future Palestinian
state. The resolution declares all of Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem
-- home to the Old City, the Western Wall and the Temple Mount -- the
most sacred place in Judaism -- "occupied Palestinian territory," and is
a declaration of war against Israel.

Resolution 2334 nullified any possibility of further negotiations
by giving the Palestinians everything in exchange for nothing -- not
even an insincere promise of peace.

The next act is the Orwellian-named "peace conference," to be
held in Paris on January 15. It has but one objective: to set the stage
to eradicate Israel.

In this new "Dreyfus trial," the accused will be the only Jewish
state and the accusers will be the OIC and officials from Islamized, dhimmified,
anti-Israel Western states. As in the Dreyfus trial, the verdict has
been decided before it even starts. Israel will be considered guilty of
all charges and condemned. A draft of the declaration to be published at
the end of the conference is already available.

The declaration rejects any Jewish presence beyond the 1949
armistice lines -- thereby instituting apartheid. It also praises the
"Arab Peace Initiative," which calls for returning of millions of
so-called "refugees" to Israel, thus transforming Israel into an Arab
Muslim state where a massacre of Jews could conveniently be organized.

The declaration is most likely meant serve as the basis for a new
Security Council resolution on January 17 that would recognize a
Palestinian state inside the "1967 borders," and be adopted, thanks to a
second US abstention, three days before Obama leaves office. The
betrayal of Israel by the Obama administration and by Obama himself
would then be complete.

The US Congress is already discussing bills to defund the UN and
the Palestinian Authority. If Europeans think that the incoming Trump
administration is as spineless as the Obama administration, they are in
for a shock.

Khaled Abu Toameh noted that the Palestinian Authority sees Resolution 2334 as a green light for more murders and violence.

Daniel Pipes recently wrote that it is time to acknowledge the
failure of a "peace process" that is really a war process. He stresses
that peace can only come when an enemy is defeated.

Resolution 2334 and the Paris conference, both promoted by Obama,
are, as the great historian Bat Ye'or wrote, simply a victory for
jihad.

FULL ARTICLE:
The Middle East is in chaos. More than half a million people have
been killed in the Syrian war and the number is rising. Bashar
al-Assad's army used chemical weapons and barrel bombs against
civilians; Russia has bombed schools and hospitals.
Syrians, Christians, Yazidis, Libyans, Yemenis and Egyptians all face
lethal treats. Iranian leaders still shout "Death to Israel" and "Death
to America" while buying nuclear equipment with money from lifted sanctions. Turkey is sliding toward an Islamist dictatorship, and unable to stem attacks against it.
The only democratic and stable country in the region is Israel, and that
is the country U.S. President Barack Obama, in the final weeks of his
term, chooses to incriminate. His decision not to use the US veto in the
UN Security Council, to let pass Resolution 2334,
effectively sets the boundaries of a future Palestinian state. The
resolution also declares all of Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem, home
to the Old City, the Western Wall and the Temple Mount -- the most
sacred place in Judaism -- "occupied Palestinian territory," and is a declaration of war against Israel.
UNSC Resolution 2334 nullified any possibility of further
negotiations, by giving the Palestinians everything in exchange for
nothing -- not even an insincere promise of peace. US Secretary of State
John Kerry's speech
five days later confirmed Obama's support for the resolution. Kerry,
like US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power, used the existence of
Jewish towns and villages in Judea and Samaria as a pretext to endorse
the position of Palestinian leaders, who want to ethnically cleanse Jews
from these areas. But this was just a prelude.
The next act is the Orwellian-named "peace conference," to be held in
Paris on January 15. It has but one objective: to set the stage to
eradicate Israel.
Organized by François Hollande, a failed French President who will
leave power in four months, it was supported from the start by the Obama
administration. Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman called it "the new Dreyfus trial."
The accused will be the only Jewish state and the accusers will be the
Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and officials from Islamized, dhimmified,
anti-Israel Western states. As in the Dreyfus trial, the verdict is
known before it starts. Israel will be considered guilty of all charges
and condemned to what its accusers hope will be the beginning of its
end.

"peace conference," organized by French President François Hollande?

Some commentators have compared what will happen in Paris to the 1942
Wannsee Conference in Nazi Germany, because the aim seems clearly to be
the "final solution" of the "Jewish problem" in the Middle East. A
draft of the declaration to be published at the end of the conference is
already available. It affirms unreserved support
for the "Palestinian Statehood strategy" and the principle of
intangibility (that the borders cannot be modified) of the "1967
borders," including East Jerusalem, the Old City and the Western Wall.
The draft declaration rejects any Jewish presence beyond these
borders -- thereby instituting apartheid -- and praises the "Arab Peace
Initiative," which calls for returning millions of so-called "refugees"
to Israel, and thus the transforming of Israel into an Arab Muslim state
-- where a massacre of the Jews could conveniently be organized.
The declaration is most likely meant to be the basis for a new UN
Security Council resolution that would endorse the recognition of a
Palestinian state in the "1967 borders" as defined in the declaration.
The new resolution could be adopted by a second US abstention
at the Security Council on January 17, three days before Obama leaves
office. The betrayal of Israel by the Obama administration and by Obama
himself would then be complete.
On January 20, however, Donald J. Trump is to take office as President of the United States. Trump sent a message
on December 23: "Stay strong Israel, January 20th is fast approaching!"
He added explicitly that the U.S. "cannot continue to let Israel be
treated with such total disdain and disrespect."
On January 5, the US House of Representatives approved a text harshly criticizing
Resolution 2334. Congress is already discussing defunding the UN and
the Palestinian Authority. If Europeans and members of UN think the
incoming Trump administration is as spineless as the Obama
administration, they are in for a shock.Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens recently wondered
if the creation of a Palestinian state would alleviate the current
Middle East chaos. His answer was that it would not, and that the
creation of a Palestinian state would be seen as a victory for
jihadists. He also noted that the Palestinian Authority still behaves
like a terrorist entity; that an Israeli withdrawal from Judea and
Samaria would encourage Hamas and lead to the creation of another
terrorist Islamic state in the West Bank, and that an Israeli withdrawal
is something that most Palestinians do not even want:

"[A] telling figure came in a June 2015 poll conducted by
the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion, which found that a majority
of Arab residents in East Jerusalem would rather live as citizens with
equal rights in Israel than in a Palestinian state."

Khaled Abu Toameh, an Arab journalist who has never yet been wrong, noted that the Palestinian Authority sees Resolution 2334 as a green light for more violence, murders and confrontation. He added that if presidential elections by the PA were held today, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh would win by a comfortable margin.
In another important article, Middle East scholar Daniel Pipes writes
that it is time to acknowledge the failure of a "peace process" that is
really a war process. He stressed that peace can only come when an
enemy is defeated. He predicts that for peace to come, Israel must win
unambiguously, and the Palestinians pass through "the bitter crucible of
defeat, with all its deprivation, destruction, and despair."
Jihadi indoctrination, as well as the financial aid given to Palestinian terrorists, have been paid for by the United States, France, and other Western European nations. That too should stop.
Resolution 2334 and the Paris peace conference, both promoted by Obama, are, as the great historian Bat Ye'or wrote, simply victories for jihad.

About Church Arise! LivingWater Ministries

The Church Arise! LivingWater Ministries (CALM), Ile-Ife, Nigeria is a non-denominational non-profit organization whose vision is to arouse the Body of Christ to the challenges and opportunities of these end times. We seek to warn about the wiles of the devil (on a wild rampage knowing that he has but a short time Rev 12:12); and simultaneously encourage the Children of God to maintain a Kingdom perspective viz-a-viz daily occurring issues, which appearing mundane on the surface, could actually turn out to be of eternal consequences. We dare not fritter away the great priviledge of being on planet Earth at a time like these (see Matthew 13:17).
The vision for the ministry was received at the 1997 God's End-Time Army Conference; and operations commenced January 1, 1998 with the launching of Vol 1 No 1 of the bi-monthly newsletter, Church Arise!.
The ministry was formally launched on April 6 2001 by a team led by Bishop Francis Wale Oke (SOTSM), Pastor Adewole Haastrup (RCCG) and HRH, Pastor Julius Fatanmi (RCCG).
Dr Joshua Ojo is the President.
